Those who face the wall, but are in the Nascent Soul stage.

Chapter 2 Physics No Longer Exists

After the wallbreaker was tied up and taken away, inside the United Nations building, Luo Qing pointed to the eerie blue electric light on the dome that resembled the Sistine Chapel ceiling painting and used a microphone to let his voice resonate throughout the venue.

"I have good news for everyone. The sophon's surveillance has disappeared. Our current energy storage technology can probably sustain the Thunder Gang Absolute Domain Array... a regional electromagnetic sophon shielded room for about five hours. Everyone, please feel free to speak—remember to turn off the live TV first."

A cheer erupted in the hall!
Aside from the reporters and security personnel who were still clueless, the remaining attendees and representatives from various countries were practically jumping for joy. Sai smiled, while Luo Qing's nascent soul monitored the entire scene, guarding against any unexpected situations.

The remaining three wallfacers all stood up and applauded repeatedly in the direction where Luo Qing was.

The applause lasted for a long time.

When Radiaz opened his mouth as if to say something, Luo Qing interrupted him in time, saying, "My three colleagues, you must remember the Wallfacer's code of conduct. We will need you in the future."

Luo Qingchong and the other two blinked: "This is part of the plan."

Luo Ji and Hines both smiled.

Radiaz scratched his head sheepishly and forced himself to sit down, but he couldn't stop grinning.

After exchanging knowing glances with the three Wallfacers, Luo Qing shook the report in his hand:
"Alright, Chairman Sai, all three of them have finished their reports. Do I need to continue?"

Say said, "You can read the whole manuscript if you want, since everyone has a copy anyway."

“Then let’s skip this formalism.” Luo Qing smiled, and his smile also elicited a bright smile from Sai.

The American representative stood up, took a deep breath, and spoke in a strange tone that suppressed his excitement: "Professor Luo Qing, how did you manage to speak directly into my mind? Three months ago, your voice suddenly appeared, almost making me think I had developed schizophrenia!"

Luo Qing patiently explained, "This is called telepathic communication, which can directly affect your sea of ​​consciousness... that is, your brain. Of course, there is also telepathic communication, which condenses the words you want to say into a vibrating line of air and accurately hits the cochlea, but that thing requires you to open your mouth, and I'm afraid Zhi Zi will be able to decipher my lip reading."

Another Russian representative stood up: "Professor Luo Qing, is the cultivation of immortality you're talking about like in the movies? Does it actually exist?"

Upon hearing this, Luo Qing flew forward, traversing dozens of meters in the low air, and arrived in front of the Russian representative. Several streams of profound lightning magic surrounded him. He snapped his fingers, and a rich spiritual energy emanated from him, making everyone feel refreshed and relaxed.

Do I not look ethereal?

“You look like a magician,” someone shouted.

Luo Qing looked at his suit, pondered for a moment, then took out a Taoist robe from his storage space and put it on. He then took off his glasses, and his eyes shone with starlight. The illusory image of his natal spirit sword circled and flew around him.

A genuine Nascent Soul cultivator appeared in the United Nations hall.

Luo Qing bowed to the representatives of various countries:
"I am Luo Qing, a Nascent Soul stage sword cultivator. I am honest and trustworthy, and you can trust me no matter who you are."

The Russian representative seemed to be in a daze, not even realizing when he had sat down.

"Professor Luo Qing? Was your appearance an accident, or a prelude to the emergence of supernatural forces? For example, the concepts of Western magic, or the gods in the mythological systems of various countries—would they also appear?"

The Japanese representative, gazing at the ethereal light surrounding Luo Qing, asked earnestly.

Luo Qing landed on the ground, sheathed his natal spirit sword, and recalled the scene of being struck dead by heavenly punishment in his previous life. He said thoughtfully:

"I should be an accident. I've seen a lot of superhero stories in Western mythology, magic, or old movies in the last two years, but I personally think these are just works of art and fantasy and are unlikely to actually happen."

“But cultivation of immortality,” a cyan vortex appeared in Luo Qing’s palm, “should be a real phenomenon.”

A CIA official asked, "Professor Luo Qing, although this question may have been asked before, allow me to ask it again: can your arrival completely resolve the Trisolaran threat to Earth's civilization?"

Upon hearing this, the room fell silent instantly, everyone waiting for Luo Qing's reply.

Luo Qing opened his mouth, wanting to give a reassuring answer, but ultimately hesitated and shook his head.

"Perhaps not?"

"Why?" the CIA official pressed.

Luo Qing shook his head helplessly: "I am only at the Nascent Soul stage. There is no spiritual energy in this world, and I am still exploring how to continue my cultivation. The lifespan of a Nascent Soul cultivator is only about a thousand years. I may be able to catch up with the first wave of the Trisolaran fleet's invasion four hundred years from now, but I will most likely not be able to end the threat of the Trisolaran civilization. We humans... or rather, humanity, will ultimately have to rely on ourselves."

Luo Qing then pointed to the flowing electric light surrounding them: "As you can see, I can't even catch Zhi Zi. I can only temporarily block him with the help of the formation. Zhi Zi's escape speed is the speed of light, and as far as I know, even the escape speed of a Mahayana cultivator cannot reach such a terrifying speed... let alone me, a Nascent Soul cultivator."

"Moreover," Luo Qing paused for a moment, "I am personally pessimistic about using sophons to deduce the technological level of the Trisolaran civilization. I even doubt whether I have the ability to deal with their expeditionary fleet... After all, I am not invincible. Your high-yield nuclear bombs can threaten me—provided that I stand still and let you bomb me."

“And I don’t think nuclear weapons can effectively deal with the Trisolaran fleet. In conclusion—” Luo Qing shrugged: “I’ve done my best. You guys need to keep up the good work.”

Upon hearing this, the CIA official turned to look at the deputy director, only to see Thomas Wade gently shake his head at him.

Thomas Wade said, "Humans are not children. Don't always think about finding a mother to nurse. Instead of placing your hopes on Professor Luo Qing, you should think of your own solutions. Nursing babies are only suitable for feeding wolves."

Luo Qing clapped lightly, looked at the American approvingly, and added, "In our hometown, we don't encourage burying ourselves in cultivation; eventually, one has to go down the mountain to cultivate."

One of the invited physics professors pointed to the flashing electric wall in the hall and said, "The physics community hopes that Professor Luo Qing can help us build a similar barrier against sophon interference so that we can continue to carry out experiments at the Large Hadron Collider. We hope to break the sophon's blockade on cutting-edge theories. In the end, humanity has to rely on itself."

Luo Qing poured cold water on the idea: "As far as I know, large hadron colliders are tens or even hundreds of kilometers long. It would be very difficult to build an anti-interference barrier of that scale. I don't have enough array materials on hand."

The diameter of the United Nations Hall is less than 100 meters; the two are not even in the same league.

Luo Qing shattered the physics professor's illusions: "At most, I can build some safe houses for the United Nations and the PCD to discuss strategic planning. You should try to break through the controlled nuclear fusion technology first and think about a purely technological strong electromagnetic sophon shielding room."

The physics expert sighed deeply and sat down helplessly. Another American representative, unwilling to give up, asked, "Mr. Luo Qing, could you disclose a portion of your cultivation method? We can try to allow some people to participate in the cultivation and possess a part of your power..."

Luo Qing shook his head and said, "I want to experience the thrill of founding a sect and passing on the Dao more than any of you, but I've emphasized many times that there is no spiritual energy in this world, so all cultivation methods are just a piece of waste paper—let's discuss it again after I break through the shackles of spiritual energy."

Five precious hours of no eavesdropping time passed quickly.

Luo Qing reluctantly took out his spirit stones from the power sources that powered the array. The moment the electromagnetic barrier dissipated, Luo Qing felt that faint sense of being watched again.

They couldn't catch up with him, and they couldn't hit him.

"This is so annoying."

Luo Qing stared at the void where Zhi Zi was, and the disgust in his eyes was transmitted back to the Trisolaran star 4.2 light-years away.

Until a line of Chinese characters appeared in the center of Luo Qing's vision.

[Dear Professor Luo Qing, I think we can have a discussion.]

Six years later, the Trisolaran civilization has finally initiated another round of communication with humanity.

Luo Qing pouted.

"Excuse me, this insect isn't used to communicating with you." Luo Qing still remembered the contemptuous comment, "You are insects."

I apologize for the Trisolaran civilization's disrespect towards you.

"I do not accept."

The writing disappeared, and it seemed the other party had stopped communicating.

Luo Qing didn't indulge her. He found Chairman Sai and talked to her about the follow-up plan and precautions before preparing to board the plane back to China.

Please don't believe what the "wall-breakers" say. We care a lot, we care a lot!

Just as Luo Qing was about to board the plane to return to China, the words that Zhi Zi had typed out once again appeared in Luo Qing's pupils.

Luo Qing focused his divine sense and forced Sophon out of his eyes: "If you really care, then let the Trisolaran fleet stop outside the Oort Cloud and let Sophon expand in a low dimension so I can slash at it a few times. If you're not sincere, then don't waste your time."

The other party fell silent once again.

We can have the First Fleet slow down in the next interstellar dust cloud, which the PDC can observe and confirm using the Hubble Space Telescope 2. We will only send a few probes as peace envoys to communicate with you. The Sophon can withdraw from the solar system, leaving only one to communicate with you.

It was rare for Luo Qing to see any semblance of strategy in these Trisolarans with their transparent minds, though it was crudely done in a somewhat endearing way.

Whether the sophon has withdrawn from the solar system is something that current human civilization cannot verify, nor can it be determined whether the hadron collider has been interfered with. Furthermore, Luo Qing's divine sense cannot cover the entire Earth, so this condition can be assumed to be non-existent.

In front of Zhi Zi, Luo Qing took out his phone and called Sai, summoning Sai, who was talking with representatives from various countries, over.

'Respond silently in your mind.'

Sai blinked knowingly.

Luo Qing used his divine sense to explain the conditions offered by the Trisolaran civilization to Sai.

The two stared at each other in silence, quickly completing this simple conversation that remained unknown to Tomoko.

Zhi Zi frantically darted around, even flying into their minds at one point, but still couldn't get any useful information.

The Trisolaran leader silently watched the attendees, while on the large screen behind him, a frozen moment remained of Luo Qing and Sai gazing at each other.

Scenes of surveillance on Luo Qing, the Wallfacer, are shown, including many stills from movies and TV dramas.

The Trisolaran leader showed no emotion, pointing to Luo Qing's image behind him, and said:

"The fifth Wallfacer finally revealed his extraordinary abilities."

The entire Trisolaran Parliament remained silent.

"He can communicate directly with other humans through a mode similar to the Trisolarans's mind resonance, and he also has the ability to manipulate macroscopic matter. Furthermore, he can sense the existence of sophons in a way that we cannot understand, and pinpoint their approximate location."

"Scientific Governor," the head of state suddenly exclaimed.

The scientific governor's thought membrane trembled violently. He lowered his head and replied weakly, "Yes, Your Majesty, this is not scientific."

The Science Governor froze the image on the moment Luo Qing slashed at the Sophon with his sword, and said with a suppressed sorrow, "Physics no longer exists."

The head of state said, "You are not fit to be a science governor; you are guilty."

Having emotions is a sin.

The scientific governor's mind membrane darkened, and he murmured, "Yes, I am guilty."
